Needing some 2WW buddies.

Nature hope something happens for you today, either way. It's the not knowing that I find the worst 😞

Thanks pingu for the info- i have stitch like pain on my right side, backache, crazy dreams etc (& think my left nipple secreted a drop of liquid this morning!) BUT tested and BFN (10dpo on FRER). Argh

Oh dear nature, what is going on? How confusing for you

Thanks for the CB digi warnings I did get 2-3 today though (4+5 but late ovulation) so feeling better.

I thought it might help others to share what we did this cycle: DTD on the day of ovulation (tracked with CB monitor) and two days before, plus a few other random times that probably didn't matter. Laid on my back for at least 20 mins after but didn't stick my legs in the air. I didn't have any symptoms before my squinter BFP at 11DPO except a distinctive stitch like pain near my left ovary at 10 DPO. If I hadn't been pregnant previously and had the same I probably would have ignored it. Since my BFP I've felt nauseous a lot, a bit tired and had some crazy dreams.

passmethewine sorry you're having the same AF abuse 😓 , taking nurofen and having a hot water bottle didn't even touch the sides of it 😞 I've only gotten period pains this awful since the MC and this is only my 2nd cycle so hopefully it will settle back to normal soon.

I catch myself getting on the verge of obsession in the last few days of the 2ww but I'm proud to say I didn't use up any HPT! WOOP! Just waited for AF to arrive and only peed on one OPK.

Oh Nature what CD are you now?? I hope you're body figures itself out soon but I would try not to worry too much. It's usually more of a concerning thing if you're bleeding when you're not meant to 🙁. Also your comment made me lol! Being frightened to sleep next to a boy just in case! hehehe!

Pingu Hoorayyyyy :) Glad to hear you're getting darker lines. I hope in a few weeks time your booking appointment all goes swiftly.

teaandbics so sweet to hear your DH's reaction ❤️. I can imagine this is a happy, emotional and nerve wracking moment. I hope your cold buggers off soon though. Sorry to hear you had to go through everything yesterday for your booking but I must admit I'm glad to hear you're being looked after from the start. xx

Thank you ladies for letting me know what apps you use! Though they sound far more in depth than my little budget/2-bit app! hehe.. Plus I feel I'm like an old dog that can't be taught any new tricks anymore so best stick to what I know! 😁

To all the ladies who have got their BFP's this week let it be happy and healthy pregnancies :)

pingu do not panic if you don't get 2-3wks. I only got it today and I'm 4+3. Yesterday's test was 1-2wks.

Yes nature let us know! Have everything crossed.

Hi pingu. Yes, it was very sweet. I'm feeling a lot better than yesterday, when I had excruciating back pain all day. I've got a streaming cold so I'm hoping it's just that. So glad your line is getting darker. Maybe just hormones playing havoc? I've also kept on testing with the ICs and they're a little darker which is a relief. I do remember reading that the weeks indicator on clearblue is not that accurate, so don't panic if it's doesn't say 2-3 weeks.

I had to book in yesterday as I have a clotting disorder which was flagged up after the investigations we had when I lost my son, so I need heparin injections in this pregnancy. (It had never been identified in my previous two pregnancies and wasn't connected to what happened to my little boy). Like you, I'd much rather have waited longer. Especially as I had to go through everything with them yesterday which was crappy.

I found FF and Ovia contradicted each other too! They had different fertile weeks! And actually neither was right this time, although seemingly the opks were

apple how are you lovely? Has AF calmed down? Really hope so.

How's everyone doing? Xxx

Come on nature, you are keeping us in suspense!

Aww bless your DH tea. How are you feeling today, any stronger symptoms? I'm still feeling sick on and off, did another IC yesterday afternoon and the line was darker so that was reassuring. If I don't get any more bleeding I'm going to do the CB digi I've been saving tomorrow and hope it says 2-3. I really should book my booking appointment as it helps to get in the system early here, but it feels like I'll be jinxing things if I do.

With apps, I used fertility friend a lot and just starting using Ovia too. I found they contradict each other a lot! Like this month my predicted period start was 4 days different between them. Ovia sends emails every day with count down to pregnancy test, etc - not sure if that is helpful or not.

Nature any news?!

ps, apple and pass, so sorry that AF has been rough. Hope she has the decency to at least pass quickly xx

Evening all,

pingu - thank you lovely. How are you doing? Are you still feeling sick?

Hey apple! DH welled up bless him. He's taken such good care of us and has been so strong since we lost our baby boy, and I think lots of emotion came flooding out.

I use the Ovia app. It's pretty user friendly - it has a clear fertile week and let's you log your symptoms each day. It does have this annoying thing though, where it asks you a gazillion questions about your lifestyle. But generally I liked it.

Your question made me look back at it, and I noticed something. I mentioned before that I was still using the opks as I'd had a weird thing previously of seemingly having months where I ovulated twice. I logged everything on the Ovia app and I'm wondering if the opks actually worked as a hpt as I've read can happen, as I got a flashing face on the clearblue purple one at 8dpo, and it flashed all the way through to yesterday when I got a solid smiley (yup I checked with that too as still didn't believe the hpts). Sorry for the really boring story, but I wondered if it would be of help to anyone. I guess you could always use a proper hpt, but 8dpo seems really early for anything to show and I've never had a positive hpt at that stage. There's probably a sensible explanation for all this, rather than my amateur analysis!

pass I've used fertility friend as well in the past and I liked it. Agree though that it can add to the crazy.

nature how're you doing? Hope you're feeling ok. Like pass, I think I'd be tempted to test x

nature you might not be completely out yet!

No I don't think so, if anything I find exercise brings my period on!

Have you tested Nature? If you're 14dpo then would be pretty unlikely to be implantation bleeding so likely explanation is AF...but slim chance is could be some sort of early pregnancy bleeding? Especially as you say it's brown rather than red...I might be tempted to do a test!

Apples I'm the same, in fact ever since starting TTC my periods have been much worse. Don't know if that's just because I'm thinking about it a lot or if there is physically something going on in there but it's a very unwelcome side effect 😞

I use Fertility Friend for charting my temps, I like it but I might try a month of just throwing caution to the wind and not tracking anything. I feel like I'm already becoming too obsessed with everything and it can't be good!

Nature do you think there's a slim chance that you could be?? Otherwise I'll help you will your AF to arrive!

Welcome all new comers :)

Passmethewine I feel the same in it together for now

Pingu try not to worry too much. Though easier said than done, I'm really hoping everything is all cooking in there still!

teaandbics how did the DH react?!

I'm currently having one of the angriest AF's ever! Feel like my uterus is being used as a stress ball 😑

Question for all you lovelies, what period/pregnancy/conception apps do you all use to record your dates, symptoms etc? I'm currently using and have been since probably 2009 😁 an app called 'P Tracker'! I rate it has a checklist of symptoms and intensities of that show up on the in app calendar, clearly has the CD's shown and obviously fertile, ovulation and period days, you can add in when you DTD and has a log list of your cycles, lengths etc as well as being able to back it all up to the cloud in case you lose your phone.

For when I was pregnant before an app called 'Pregnancy+' I liked the simplicity of it and the graphics/images weekly/daily tips and articles as well as the week by week growth and weight comparisons. V cute.

Welcome Loren!

No more blood here but I often get this type of spotting just before AF arrives. Trying to figure out if I have other symptoms of impending AF but I can't get past feeling sick! My boobs stopped hurting last night and I didn't have any vivid dreams either, which I have for the past week. I'll just have to wait and see, que sera sera. Thanks for the reassurance tea. Hoping your bean is a sticky one.

It's unlikely to be that I think nature, nothing has been up there since conception! Hope you get an answer one way or another soon.

Hello everyone,

Hi Loren. Good luck!

Thank you pass! I didn't have many symptoms until yesterday and the day before when I had pretty bad cramps. Still got them which is a bit of a worry. The thing I missed was the vivid dreams. I'd had the both times before and had them his week, but had kind of forgotten about that being a sign.

Thank you nature x Youre being given the run around aren't you poor love. Still no AF so that's good!

pingu I'm so sorry to hear that. I have absolutely everything crossed for you I had similar with my first son, bright red blood very early on, and it was all fine, but I know it must be worrying.

Uh oh. Just went to the loo and there was some blood when I wiped. Mostly brown but some red too. I'm thinking chemical pregnancy .

I'm feeling really sick this morning too, annoyingly.
